SCENTED NEW SUBSCRIBER.
are

The voting con teat haa bet n run
ning since Dec. 24, and the results
obtained are very gratifying to the
management of this paper. Great
interest is being manifested by every
one who reads the paper, either in or
ontof the oonnty. Votes hare been
cast from several counties in this
state and from several states in the
anion. The number of votes cast
indicate the extent of the interest
shown. Daring January we added
last 100 new names to onr list of
subscribers and these are paid a year
or more in advance. Still they come
in. This week are printed 1850
papers, and we hope by the time the
contest ends to print over 2000 for
oar regular issue.
But the contest is the thing. One
hears it on all sides, and votes
coming in by every mail. We
pleased to note the sUady growth
the totals of many of the candidates
this week two new candidate have
entered since our last issue, and we
have heard of others who will shortly
come in. There is no telling now
who will be the winner. It may be
one of the candidates whom no one
has tho >ght in the race. The large
totals some of the candidates are
proud of were won by a week’s work
—what one has done others may do—
why not you?—Simply hustle and
wait results.
One young lady was out canvass
ing for votes a few days ago when
hei horse ran and almost demolished
her buggy. Had it done so, one
would say she should win first prize.
Now when we urge hustling we mean
for candidates only to bustle and not
their horses. We understand, how
ever, to do the horse justice, that it
scented a new subscriber in the dis
tance and was after him. The
sequel was the lady sent in a good
batch of votes. That’s hustling.
CLOSING i EXERCISES AT BELLS
Bells, Feb. 6; Special:—The School
at this place closed on the 5th inst.
There were forty-six pupils enrolled
during the year. The last month’s
average was over twenty-eight
which goes to show that interest was
held to the last. Indeed the patrons
are grieving that the school closes so
early and many of them are speaking
of a private school.
" Miss Effie Jones, cur teacher, has
returned to her home at Ashton
where she enjoys the sweet consci
ence that she has done her duty at
Bells to its fullest extent. Her work
here is commended and appreciated
by her many friends.
A number of the patrons and visi
tors assembled at the school room on
the 5th to hear the closing exercises.
The following is the program:

‘ ADAMS RUN ITEMS.
Adams Run, Feb. 6: Editor Press
and Standard:- Quite a difference in
the temperature of temperature of
today and last-Saturday. Last Sat
urday and Sunday were freezing.
King Winter reigned royally. To
day gentle spring weather is with us
the birds are singing their love songs
to their mates and we are reminded
of St. Valentine’s day.
The cold last week killed a great
many of the hot house plants.
S. J. Rumph’s barrel factory has
begun making barrels.
Little Miss Pauline Taylor spent
last week with Mrs. T. J. Taylor, re
turning home on Srturday.
Little Miss Lois Legare spent last
week’s end at Pon Pon with Miss
Pauline Taylor,
Mr. and Mrs. James Jenkins, of
Charleston, are visiting Mrs. Ada
Barnwell, also other relatives. This
is their old home and their many
friends welcome them with much
pleasure.
Mrs. Cecile W. King has returned
home from a visit to her sons in New
York City.
Misses Julia and Annie Larsen
were in town last week.
M. W. Clement visited Walterbord
last Friday.
Misses Lucia and Nancy Newton
visited relatives in Dorchester last
week.
Miss Georgia Davis is visiting her
aunt, Mrs W. J. Newton.
Mesdames Cal and Jake Linder,
Misses Gladys Mellard, and Annie
Dodd spent yesterday veiy" pleas
antly at the Bluff.
Mrs Johnson has joined Mr John
son at Bennett’s Point to remain
there until summer.
Miss Evie Johnson returned home
with Miss Pearl Kearse of Olar for
a brief visit, from there she will
visit her sister, Mrs Mears at Varn-
ville.
Mrs Edmund Bellinger and family
have moved to Hendersonville. They
made many friends during their stay
with us, who w’ere sorry to give
them up, but such is life, we come
and go; meetings and partings.
The only thing now in a social way
is the Sewing Circle, which offers
great amusement. The men want
to find out everything said at it, but
it seems that ladies can keep quiet
sometimes. Every lady member is
always present—afraid to stay away.
A dreadful penalty must be paid if
she is absent. Guess it?
The new educational bill intro
duced by Mr. Garris is a very at
tractive one and should he appre
ciated by those interested in the
future of the young lives intrusted
to their care, and who are responsi
ble for the preparation they receive
to fight life’s battles. I hope it will
bring forth good fruit and not fall
by the way side. Too many.parents
seem to think that any time will do
for an education, and many do not
uphold the leaders in their efforts to
educate tf!e child. Just let John or
Jane be punished for gross negli
gence and oh! tho fat is in the tire
and John may remain Home next
day until his ruffled plumage gets
smooth again. But 1 will stop and
let another write of this matter who
weilds the pen with more proficiency
than I.

MISS GLOVER’S SCHOOL CLOSES.
Round, Feb. 6.—Special: The
Bethlehem school, with Miss Glover
as teacher, has closed, and under
such pleasant circumstances that we
would like our friends who were not
present at the closing exercises, to
know of it through your paper.
Our little school has been getting
on quite prosperously and the at
tendance vand lessons have been
pretty fair. Miss Glover, the teach
er, offered a prize to the scholar
who should make the highest aver
age on lessons and conduct. On
Wednesday, the last day of school, a
few of the patrons visited the school
to hear who had won, and they were
pleasantly entertaired with recita
tions by Misses Annie and Delle
Hiott, and Miss Glover. Annie and
Delle have been studying elocution
and have proved a great credit to
their teacher.
Thelma Hiott won the prize,
though several others only missed it
by a fraction, for the averages were
very good and altogether the work
for the term has been satisfactory.
After the last recitation the pu
pils were dismissed and the occa
sion was celebrated by a -deliciously
happy straw ride through Cottage-
ville. The teacher accompanied her
scholars and enjoyed it as^much as
they. The crowd returned by moon
light and parted wi< h mutual regret.
Miss Glover left for ker home the
next day, and, though requested to
do so, does not expect to take
charge of thisichool again.
Thanking you Mr Editor. Tor the
interest you have shown in our
school, 1 am,

Prohibition has a hard fight in
South Carolina as elsewhere. The
people of this State are unquestion
ably by a very large majority in
favor of State-wide prohibition, and
yet the State senate is tryinig to
block the wish of the people. It
may be postponed, but prohibition
will *in. The fenate will be re
creant to the will of the great ma
jority of the people of the State, if
they decline to pass a State-wide
